Blondies are the less chocolatey, more vanilla sister of Brownies. The chocolate chips stop them from being too plain but without being sickly like brownies sometimes are.
You can make this recipe by omitting the Oreos if they're not really your cup of tea. I discovered golden Oreos on a trip to New York in 2015. They tasted just like custard creams and came in massive trays for $5 each. Naturally I brought 3 packets home with me, taking up loads of suitcase space (I even sacrificed a jumper to make room for them) and then, a month later, they launch EVERYWHERE in the UK. And mostly on offer in Tesco for 50p! What's a vegan girl to do? So now they're widely available I'm happy to experiment with them, and thence came the Oreo Blondie!

Good or bad, I want your feedback :)
Makes 12 squares
Ingredients:
3 & 1/2 cups of plain flour
1 &1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 & 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil or similar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup soy or rice milk
1 cup dark or plain chocolate chips
12 golden Oreo biscuits
Pre-heat oven to gas 5/190c/350f
Grease or line a large brownie pan
Separate the oreo halves carefully, so you have 2 pieces, trying to keep the cream centre on one side of the biscuit. Put the biscuit halves with the cream on to one side. In a bowl break the plain biscuit halves into smallish pieces.
Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar, and add the broken oreo biscuit pieces.
Add oil, vanilla, milk and chocolate chips and mix gently until combined.
Pour mixture unto brownie pan. They will rise a lot so only fill a third of the way up the pan. You may have mixture left over depending on the size of your brownie pan, pour it into another greased or lined pan (any shape will do as long as it's ovenproof) and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick or knife comes out clean. Get your Oreo biscuit cream halves and very gently push them into the top of the blondies (one biscuit for each piece), then bake for another few minutes.
Leave them in the tray to cool on a rack, until they're completely cold. If you try totake them out the pan while they're still warm they will stick and fall apart.
Cut into pieces when cold and remove from the brownie pan with a spatula.
Serve on their own or with dairy free vanilla ice cream. Yum!
